The Sixaxis Controller is a unique, free application designed to enable Android games to be controlled using a PlayStation 3 controller.
Functionality and Features
Sixaxis Controller is a versatile tool that allows users to transform their PlayStation 3 controller into an Android game controller. This means that your favorite Android games can be played as if they were being displayed on a television screen, rather than on a mobile device.
The implementation process can be somewhat intricate, as it involves executing a set of commands for the Android device to recognize the PlayStation controller. However, the result is well worth the effort as it enables the connection of up to four controllers at once, thereby enhancing multi-player gaming experiences.
Customization and Control
A key feature of Sixaxis Controller is the high level of customization it offers. The application permits the configuration of all control elements, including the analog stick. This enables comfortable control over various games, such as Street Fighter or Need for Speed.
Moreover, Sixaxis Controller provides full mouse emulation. This feature, coupled with an automatic activation button that can be configured on the terminal, can drastically improve the gaming experience.
A Unique Gaming Experience
Although typically, holding a PlayStation 3 controller implies an intention to play on the PlayStation 3 console, Sixaxis Controller breaks this norm. It allows users to enjoy their favorite console-style games on their Android device, offering a fresh and unique gaming experience.
